Pan-Seared Salmon with Vegetables & Citrus Soy Sauce
Serves: 4 Active Time : 15 min
Total Time: 30 min
1 pkg (24 oz) Discover The Orient Stir-Fry Vegetables
2 Tbsp Wegmans Basting Oil, divided
1 medium (about 1/2 lb) red or yellow sweet pepper, halved, cored and diced medium
6 salmon fillets (6 oz ea)
Wegmans Pan Searing Flour
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp butter
1 cup Wegmans Citrus Soy Sauce (Prepared Foods)
Blanch stir-fy vegetables 1 min in large pot of salted water. Drain; transfer to bowl of ice water. Drain; toss with 1 Tbsp basting oil. Set aside. Repeat with peppers, but do not add basting oil. Set aside.
Dust salmon with pan searing flour; pat off excess. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in skillet on MEDIUM-HIGH, until oil faintly smokes; add salmon. Turn over when salmon changes color one-quarter of way up and seared side has turned paper-bag brown. 3-4 min. Reduce heat to MEDIUM; cook until temperature of salmon reaches 120 degrees, 4-5 min. Check by inserting thermometer halfway into thickest part of salmon.
Add remaining basting oil and butter to pan; swirl, being careful not to burn butter. Baste with spoon, 1-3 min, until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees. Transfer to clean platter; let rest at least 2 min. Keep warm. Discard drippings from pan.
Add remaining Tbsp olive oil to pan. Add vegetables; toss and cook on HIGH 3-4 min. Add sauce; bring to simmer on MEDIUM-HIGH. Remove from pan; divide evenly onto 6 serving plates. Top with salmon.
Tip: Sauce can be reduced to glaze fish; continue cooking until reduced to syrupy consistency, 2-3 min.
Option: Haddock or Cod can be used in place of Salmon.
